Gavin Castleton’s Home is an album about the process of healing from massive heartbreak. Written over the course of a two- year breakup, this 14-song narrative blurs the line between fact and fiction as it details the extreme highs and gut-wrenching lows of Castleton’s first bout with love, presented in the motif of a zombie film.
Both sonically and scenically, the album travels vast distances. From the 50’s doo-wop/dub pop of “Coffeelocks” - a love at first sight introduction in the coffee shop, to the prog/rocksteady hypnosis of “The Human Torch” - the action-packed escape-from-the-zombie-hordes-by-way-of-helicopter album closer, Home is as dynamic as love itself.
The album features big arrangements, lush production, and the versatile voice of Lauren Coleman (duetting with Castleton in the role of his lover). Produced by Gavin Castleton, mixed by Rob Pemberton and Overclock Inc., and mastered by Grammy-winner Mark Wilder, Home is an epic project designed to console all who have encountered love and lived to tell about it.
